This man has no fear at all, he just a regular scientist, but was brave enough to fight his way to Lambda Core, even with a risk of death by HECUs and Xens, not like any other scientists that just cry and cry waiting for their death

This mere human defeated hell and all its demons that were thrown at him with just a gun or two.

Snake is selfless, willing to give up his own life for others and doesn't stop, even as an old man. Also, Metal Gear series is awesome. Need I say more?

22Alucard (Castlevania)

23Kratos (God of War)

24Wander (Shadow of the Colossus)

He is so weak.. Love is his motivation, and he could have done everything for this girl, plus he said "it doesn't matter" when he know there will be a price for what he will do, even if he manage to so it. A suicide mission. But an invincible love...

When you think about it. A 5 year old kid going into a womans uterus to fight a foetus that could wind up destroying the world. What a tune dog getting laid at 5. - TheGrammarPolice

Ness is a badass. I am not afraid to say that. - xandermartin98

Ness gets attacked with knives, psi, and yet continues to keep going on a journey because he's told to! good job ness, the only reason he's not higher on this list is because no one knows who he is.

27Sean Devlin (The Saboteur)

Sean Devlin would easily beat the crap out of Mario. When Sean's done with beating the crap out of Mario he would dump Mario into a coffin draped with a flag consisting of green white and orange. Sean would then celebrate Irish style (and by that I mean drink Guinness).
